Timeline of the Mythics' Quest;
• Grandeur, the gateway to the Mythics' Guild, must be appeased. The requirements for this section are merely the skill requirements for the quest, having completed the Legends' Quest and having a certain number of quest points. The plinth that Grandeur stands on has three icons connected by rivulets. You need them all to light up.
• Through the gateway you can see the image above, basically. Only, the warrior is also a statue and facing the other way. These thirteen statues are, in effect, Hercules and the twelve labours. Accompanying them is a fourth character, imposing as a thirteenth labour - Durial, our antagonist.
• "Herclues" will introduce the labours, and what they are for. It should be noted that the labours themselves, and Herclues, are irrelevant to the quest at the moment. Players can complete them now or later. It should also be noted that Hercules does not mention Durial, our 13th Labour. Trying to make him stick out.
• Each labour would be based on the labours from Greek Mythology. This is the guild of Mythics after all, and Greek wouldn't be the only source when we finally have access to the guild. "Completing a labour" involves retrieving a lost relic that has been hidden in your time. These tasks take place in both RuneScape, and bespoke instances.
• Durial requires three items; the Blades of Eleyon, the Cloak of Shadows and the Potion of Vulnerability. Each item will require utmost knowledge of RuneScape, as no requirements are officially given. This quest may seem long - but the labours aren't required at this point.
• After obtaining all three items for Durial he will exit the guild - returning to his own time. In the same cinematic, future-you will arrive; panting hysterically and cursing that he took too long (mentioning something about other future-yous and how he failed to improve... which you will also say).
• Future-you, though you don't know it yet, will tell you what you need to do next; which of the three labours you should complete. You require the Rising Sun, the Hydra's Diadem, and something defensive to counter the Blades of Eleyon. Future-you will also tell you what Durial's true intentions are.
• After having obtained these, your next mission is to activate the Chronarch's Throne, an altar capable of reversing the flow of time within the guild. *insert more on this segment*.
• Successfully rewinding time, you most exit the guild into the past and locate Durial. The fight will be epic... think Nomad, just harder (or perhaps not, Dark's still killing himself trying to kill Nomad). During this fight Durial will accuse you of being Guthix, among other interesting foods-of-thought.
• Return to the guild and fast-forward to the present. On your way to Grandeur, to speak with your future-self, you will notice two omens - Durial and yourself. Panicking, you run forward to try and stop yourself handing Durial the items. You will, of course, fail... and, well, you can probably see where I'm going.
• This segment is surprisingly easy, merely tell your past-you what to do.

The quest needs to end somewhere. Possibly when you exit the Guild and Grandeur's gargoyles will laugh at you, seemingly aware of you you'd just done. Or... the moment you return to the present it's quest-over, with aiding past-you merely being a required postal-script. I suppose that's the only issue with having a quest with no true questmaster.

Write another one Jeevies Grin

Can we include the fates, the krakan and gorgons in Mythics'? Tongue

*remembers Clash of the Titans*

(Prelude to fate part) Io: Don't ask for more than you need to know!
Fates: Medusa will help you!
Perseus: Thanks...
Fates: We have more!
Io: Perseus no!
Perseus: I'm listening...
Fates: You will die! *cackles*

That movie was alright... the plot and history was shaky. The ending was anticlimactic and took a whole 10 minutes. Action was good though Grin

Yes, we should use the Gorgons in here somewhere. The Kraken could be a mini-boss for one of the labours?

Post by trixtor Mon Aug 09, 2010 12:45 pm

I know that this is badly written and I'm too lazy to write the dialogue. I took liberties with the myth by a) changing the task to better suit RS (and to give a reward after the quest) and b) not using the second half of the myth.


The cattle of Geryon:

The statue is basically the same as Dark Sylvania's drawing

The Rhyme is indecipherable, as it is three sets of text overlapping one another, but the last line can be made out:

In the starters fields the cattle lie.

In addition, a voice in your head will tell you to capture Geryon's Cattle. Thinking about the meaning of these words, you slowly realize that it is referring to the cows near Lumbridge. Swiftly making your way there, you catch a glimpse of some kind of Dog-thing. Suddenly, you fall unconscious. When you wake up, you find a very angry 2-headed dog staring at you and beginning to growl. You scream in terror. (this is a cutscene by the way) Jumping up, you run to the castle, and climb the stairwell up to the top. (cutscene end) (important note: going anywhere other than to the cattle field across the river will cause the dog to chase you into the castle once again.) When you arrive there, a previously unseen NPC with three heads, two bodies, six arms and two legs will come over to you. (His name will be ??? at this point) He will initiate a conversation with you. You will make idle chatter, but when you tell him that you are here to capture the Cattle of Geryon, he will tell you that he's Geryon, and he will call the two-headed dog and another NPC named Eurythion to fight you. The dog is level 170, has 2500 lifepoints, is weak to crush attacks, and attacks at double the speed of a longsword. Eurythion is level 180, has 3500 lifepoints and doesn't have any special weaknesses/ powers. As soon as you beat the two, you will once again scream in terror and this time run to the Lumbridge cellar. You will have the opportunity to use the bank chest. Once you ascend from the cellar, you will be attacked by a two-headed ghost dog with 2000 lifepoints. Its strategy remains the same. Once you return to the field, Geryon will attack you. (this guy is meant to be HARD, don't tell me that he's overpowered) (To counteract the difficulty of this fight, your gravestone will appear next to you when you die) (any re-spawn point other than lumbridge will be temporarily changed to lumbridge) He is level 300, has 5000 lifepoints, attacks at double the speed of a dagger and dodges your attacks with a 50% chance. Once you defeat him, you can enter the cattle field. Time for a mini-game! (remember herding sheep with the cattle prod? This time you will be herding a cow into a cage.) Once you accomplish this task, you will be immediately teleported back to the guild. The cage will have mysteriously gone missing.
After completing the labour, you will be able to play the same mini-game for hunting EXP, with different varieties of Cow to trap. The types of cows scale with your level, and all require level 1 hunting to trap. Rarely, you may come upon a giant cow carcass, from which you can harvest 12 big bones and 200 raw cowhide.
If you so wish, you will be able to kill the cows rather than hunting them. The only remarkable drop from them is their meat; Geryon Brand Beef(tm). You can cook it with an as yet undetermined cooking level, which will result in 'super-beef!' if cooked on a fire. (Super-Beef! gives 250 lifepoints and +2 to all combat skills except prayer and summoning.) If you cook the special beef on a range, you will get 'mighty-sausages!', which can be 1) eaten to restore 400 health in four bites (100 each,) but with a -3 to all combat stats except prayer and summoning.
and 2) you can use it as a joke weapon.
